One Piece Academy is an ongoing official One Piece spinoff that releases in Monthly Saikyo Jump. In the magazine, the chapters are roughly 40 pages, but they're divided into two parts and released bimonthly on the official site.
Not all chapters are translated. Untranslated chapters can be found here.
Like most spinoffs, the original author isn't involved in its writing. However, it has been confirmed that Oda himself decided the nicknames exchanged between characters (Cora and the SHs) in the donquixote brothers arc.
For latest chapters, check the official site. It removes access to older free chapters with addition of every new chapter.
Here's the author's Twitter.
At the moment, I'm only translating specific chapters or arcs that feature Law. This post is updated after each new translation. I may translate the remaining chapters eventually, but I need time.
I've started typesetting the chapters, so if you want, you can wait until the quick translation links are updated.

I'm still not over the fact that Law lost his hat.

Would be understatement to say he wore it just for fashion and overstatement if I say it has a narrative relevancy similar to Luffy's straw hat

But Law always wore a spotted hat, it's one of the few things he carried from Flevance. The hat is important to him. Each time he lost it during a confrontation, he retrieved it first when he made a comeback. Oda had been sparing some panels for that.

Bet he feels exposed without it on.

He used to hide his moments of vulnerability behind his hat.

He has now lost everything for the third time, including the hat.

How's he going to hide himself now.

I 1000% accept your ‘Law read the -ya suffix in a comic and copied it to sound cool’ as canon- I feel the same about his horrible, awful disguises. Boy has to be operating on comic book logic there to think a basket over his head will hide his identity, when he literally has his jolly roger painted on his clothes. So much of his ‘cool persona’ is just comic stuff, i’m sure of it.

badninken answered:

It works too. It takes an embarrassingly long time for Hawkins to realize the basket man is Law. I love that even in disguise he so obviously wants to look cool. That outfit must have cost so much, just the haori looks so expensive I bet he spent days coordinating that whole look.

I think this goes for Law's looks in general. His visual transformation from polite, studious little church boy to murderous emo creep with DEATH knuckles feels very deliberate.

He's very conscious of how he presents himself and obviously cares a lot about how he's perceived by others, like... He really wants to look cool. It's important to him and I think this is what makes his stoic edgy dark and dangerous death guy thing so, SO endearing. He tries so hard <3

And of course he's influenced by comic books.

Ending on Law in his comic book villain arc enjoying infamy while wearing a custom embroidered hazard-colored full length coat in his evil laboratory mansion. He's having such a moment here, thriving in the terrified screams of his enemies. He knows he looks cool. It's a big part of his pirate strategy I think. Show up, look hot and mysterious, scare some people with dramatic displays of painless, fully reversible amputations, enjoy bounty increase while pretending not to care.

Novel Law Kikoku no Toki translated snippet: the Ero-Law allegation

I was asked a few times about it, so here are the relevant paragraphs fully translated.

[Context: Law and Hakugan were out to visit weapon stores to buy a sword]

#law keeps beefing with a child for no reason #I'd like to hear yall's thoughts - is it in-character for law or OOC?#the novel is pretty much independent from oda's influence even though it has his stamp of approval #it's hard for me to imagine law wasting so much energy to entertain a child. he's not very talkative #ofc sakagami san is appealing the idea that law had a sis so he's pro at talking with children #but still #.#novel law #one piece #trafalgar law #one piece bepo #mine #one piece translations #took me really long 🫠 I'm terrible at novel translation

My thoughts on the 2nd chapter of the Law novel so far...

Thank you to @1000sunnygo for the summary. I felt this was too long for a comment or reblog. Let me know if I missed or misunderstood anything!

“Hakugan's sister comes to nag at him for oversleeping” Wait… did Law actually oversleep? He’s an insomniac, or was it so hot that he could NOT sleep and ended up finally falling asleep super late and thus waking up late?

“Apparently other than Law everyone else are decent cooks” Law can’t cook confirmed. I kind of had a feeling all these years, honestly. Another thing the fandom can mercilessly make fun of him for. Law burns water, which is funny because that’s one of his names hahaha I mean… the jokes can write themselves.

“Law plays mysterious and says ‘we went to pass some adult time’ (pretty clear innuendo to red light district)” Is this how we can finally confirm that Law is not a virgin?! Let me find out he actually had a hoe phase. Let me be serious… I’ve always been in the middle on this. I don’t think Law is a virgin, but I also don’t think he’s some sex god like he's sometimes depicted in some fanfics. I think he has probably had to fulfill his needs before, but I don’t think he sleeps around a whole lot.

“It's a sword longer than him and the markings look like a graveyard. The name is Kikoku.” I like this because I like the idea that Law literally had to grow into his sword.

“There had been only one person, a Wano samurai, who could master this sword.” Again, Wano is one of the places that I think Law could be now, so this is an interesting development.

(There's a poetic line about Law being known for his cool, dry nature but that's because he's a captain and has a mission to take down Doflamingo, while in reality, there's a passion beneath him "shimmering like magma.") Yes, we know, which is why he drives so many of us fangirls crazy. Excuse me while I go out for some air.

Love. Hate. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. Hate. Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate.Hate. – OOOOOF. A poignant reminder that Law’s hate for Doflamingo was so strong that it overpowered his love for Corazon at times. It makes sense when you consider that he thought Cora-san did it all because he is a D. It took Sengoku of all people to bring him out of that mindset. This is why I always say that Law needed to recalibrate after Dressrosa.

“He realizes he ignored Kikoku's own will and treated it like taming some wild animal rather than trying to understand it. He holds Kikoku gently and remembers his beloved people. The feeling of love flows from his fingertips into Kikoku. Law screams within his heart that he wants to be strong.” Then, this makes me so happy for Law because, even though that hate was so strong, he always managed to pull himself out of it and not become like Doflamingo.

“There are people I couldn't protect. That's why I need the strength to protect the people who will be with me from now on.” Then this breaks my heart for him and makes me more anxious to see how he’s doing now. He’s probably beating himself up over his loss to Blackbeard.

“When Law is about to leave, a hand made of mud grabs his leg. Then the lump grows and turns into a pitch black version of his own self.” This is reminding me of that one time in Naruto Shippuden where Naruto had to fight his dark version.

Always fun to read your thoughts 🍿I'll take the opportunity to share mine as well!

Law said he has his own sleep routine so I think he sleeps really late lol, that checks out with typical night owl habits.

The first novel already confirmed his poor culinary skills. Tbh I still headcanon Oda's Law a decent cook. Like @chromatic-lamina pointed out, Law used to cook while he was with Cora and neither seemed to dislike the taste. Making a decent hotspot during travel requires skills! And he was still a child! 👏

Sakagami san has confirmed in his tweets he's given creative freedom for the novels, although they are released with Oda's approval I take them as very loose-canon.

The joke with Nanagi neither confirms nor denies Law's experience with sex tbh, that's just him being a piece of shit 😭 I've fully translated this segment since there were some confusion, fixed a small mistake in the summary too (Bepo and Nanagi weren't playing on a slide, Bepo himself was the slide pff)

Slightly tangent from the topic but this reminds me of a discussion we had about whether Law would be affected by Hancock and [[SPOILER FOR THE LATEST MANGA ARC]] Shakky, not sure if you've read it but I'll leave it here anyway...

Well if (Big if) we consider Law's novel characterization canonically accurate at least he seems to have some experience going to 'sketchy places' because otherwise that's a strange subject to joke about.

>Love and hate

It was poetic how the negative emotion took over him first. Even if he thought about Cora more than Doffy, his thoughts would still lead to Doffy because he's the reason Cora isn't here anymore. Hakugan throwing himself at him to save him empowered the love and protective side once again 🤧

The training arc reminds me of Naruto and Zoro's quests lol, although this time it could be a df user. Looking forward to the next update :)

Novel Law: Kikoku no Toki chapter 2

done reading!

As always, I'm not completely sold on Law's characterization but official contents during trying times is always welcome! I'll leave an extended summary.

Part 1 recap:

The story takes place during Law's North Blue piracy years. Law and the Hearts (Bepo, Shachi, Penguin) battle a notorious pirate crew, which ends with Law defeating the enemy captain but falling into the ocean. His old sword is shattered into pieces. One of the captives in the enemy ship, Hakugan, saves Law's life. As a gratitude, the Hearts escort him and other captives back to their hometown Welbems. The island's northern side is occupied by Nagels Pirates. The two orphans - Hakugan and his younger sister, live at a southern village. Hearts take a few days off at the village to recharge themselves. Bepo, Shachi and Penguin decide to develop a naval combat style to help their captain in future, while Law decides to buy a new sword.

Part 2

Law wakes up sweating as he's still adjusting to the island's summer weather. He changes to his yellow jacket. Hakugan's sister comes to nag at him for oversleeping and they run a debate back and forth until Law leaves the room.

Everyone has gathered at the breakfast table. Apparently other than Law everyone else are decent cooks so they're not used to eating someone else's home-cooked meals. They devour some fish grilled by Hakugan without bothering the cutleries.

The fish is called Bembem, the dish is a unique delicacy from the island. Penguin admits his loss as a cook this round, but he's determined to beat Hakugan's cooking (and win everyone and Captain's heart again) next time. Law thinks Penguin would probably beat Hakugan if the overall culinary skills are compared.

Anonymous asked:

makes me so happy you see the religious imagery and faith in law’s dynamic with luffy! my favorite fic writer writes it like that as well- they had one scene in dressrosa comparing the shine of doflamingo’s wires to stained glass windows being broken by luffy, and that line has driven me insane. I can’t unsee it since.

badninken answered:

I mean yeah, this could make anyone religious.

I think Luffy is one part of a larger theme of faith and religious imagery with Law's story. It's not like Law worships the ground Luffy walks on or views him with more reverence than the average background character when he saves the day. It's just the expression of it that feels so subtle and profound. To me, what makes these moments of Law witnessing Luffy's wins as miracles so special is that his faith in Luffy is a milestone is his own, very private, personal journey. One that began in Flevance and continues with his search for the road poneglyphs and the truth about the people of D. What I'm trying to say is it's not a Luffy thing. It's a Law's-entire-life thing.

Because Law's story is full of religious imagery and saviors. I joke that he's a damsel in distress character because he sure gets that treatment and it's fun. It's really fun.

But of course it's actually really dark (we're doing dark derailing now. lots of derailing because this is what happens when I get going)

Because beneath the fun is the fact that this is a character who had to experience what it's like to have people run away screaming when you ask them for help. Who'll call you a disgusting monster that should be dead already. He learned that there is no help to find, that the government soldiers won't save anyone, not even the children. There is no mercy. Nobody is coming to save you.

So the fallen ~~angel~~ celestial dragon ~~Lucifer~~ Doflamingo takes him in to shape him in his own image. The literal burning heart Corazon saves him from the devil and from death by making him eat a heart-shaped fruit in a story that's so full of biblical references I'll just have to summarize:

A book could be written about the religious imagery in Law's story. For real.

Back to the topic: Luffy is the potential merciful hand of salvation/bullet for Doflamingo's skull that Law finds, saves from the brink of death and then wrangles toward the right direction so that Luffy might, hopefully perform miracles and hit skulls where Law wants him to. Corazon made him believe again and gave him a direction to walk in. He told Law that he and his fellow D's were the enemy of the gods and Monkey D Luffy went and punched one right in the face the first time they met. Done deal. Miracle.

Law's knowledge of the D opened his eyes for Luffy's potential before many others had caught on I think. The way he chooses to save Luffy's life without asking for anything in return was a whim of destiny, 'paying it forward' from Cora, and a gamble for the future

It paid off!

He makes another faithful gamble.

Then he spends what could very well be his last words in life telling Doflamingo the Straw hats can perform miracles. That little boy who knocked on the devil's door saying "I don't believe in anything anymore" was ready to put everything in their hands while going to his death, smiling. That's how much he believed in them.

I could talk about this for days.

My main point is that Law brings the religious imagery tattooed all over himself wherever he goes, whoever he's interacting with. It's really funny though, that the guy he chose to put his faith in is a god. And that the merciful hand of salvation looks like this:
